We (daughters 28 and 17 and I) are making a side trip to Cody as part of our visit to GTNP and YNP in July. After GTNP, we will spend two nights at Lake and then drive out of the park to Cody and stay overnight. We hope to go to the rodeo and the museum, and then head back to Old Faithful for two nights. We have hotel reservations in Jackson, GTNP, YNP and Cody.

I've read through the reviews of various Cody restaurants and many seem less than enthusiastic. We do plan to go to the rodeo, so perhaps we should just keep things really informal and eat there - is the food typical carnival/fair stuff and if so, is it good? Otherwise, I would love to hear recommendations for restaurants people like in Cody.

We like the Irma Hotel dining room. Good food, lots of history (the bar was a gift to Buffalo Bill from the queen of England. Be sure you're seated in the main dining room and not in the annex near the bar (which fills up with smoke and cowboys).

I second the Proud Cut if you are a beef fan. We also like the CodyRib and Chop House. My wife's favorite is Zapata's, which is a Mexican restaurant. I don't particularly care for it as much. All are located downtown on the main street through town. The Irma, which was earlier recommended, is right there too. You have lots of decent dining options in Cody.

We spent a night in Cody after time in Yellowstone and the Tetons and absolutely loved it. My husband and I had dinner at the Irma and had such a great meal we went back for lunch the next day before we had to leave town. Not only is the food excellent but you are dining in a charming, historic building. I strongly recommend it!!
